Ship Registation ID showing an orange/pink outline

Need some confirmation from other users on this.

Just got my tier 2 escort, default Ushaan configuration. I noticed something odd upon inspecting it. My Ship ID/Registration Number has an orange/pink outline. I switched back to my miranda, and the outline was white/grey as it should be.

I've attempted customizing my escort's parts and paintjob, that outline doesn't change. I've attempted renaming my escort and changing the ID, and the outline still doesn't change.

My ship name shows up outlined with the correct colors, as it should.

I've included a cropped screenshot showing what I'm referring to. If anyone has experienced this, and/or found a way to alleviate it, the info is appreciated.

    Looks like your using Skin 4 in the screenshot. I think that skin is causing it. I have the same effect on most of my escorts. I prefer to run my escorts with the black ops look, cruisers with the rugged standard look, and finally my science ships with that high tech streamline look. :)

    The Orange outline stays the same, even if I change my ship to any of the other material types/skins.

    So here's something bizarre.

    It appears that it's not just my ship, and not just the screenshot they have in the loading screens.

    Here's a shot of an Akira from STO, on memory alpha. Same coloration issues.

    <-- these images all beg to differ. There should either be a grey outline, or no outline with just black text.

    Hmm..however, it does seem to be on the Akira may be correct, but as all the Saber Variants have it, it doesn't seem to fit.


    Here's an image of the Saber: http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/7076/sabercgi2.jpg

    No outline. but the one in game has it.
